What did you buy today?

[Harvestman]

German Police winter hat from Forest Surplus in Ross on Wye. £16 with 10% BCUK discount. I went there for a Swedish army winter hat, but even after sourcing the biggest one he could get, Mark still didn't have one to fit me.
The German hat is much nicer anyway.

Get a Mora

As Mesquite says 'get a Mora'. It's a better all-rounder.

I haven't used it out and about as yet, but in pottering around with it in my garden with it, the Schrade seems actually actually to be very good camp tool for light processing of wood, making firesticks, etc. but it's too heavy and unwieldy for any fine work. I'll post more thoughts when I've used it when camping out in a couple of weeks. For now the Mora's deserved excellent reputation makes is a better bet.

Yesterday arrived more frost river goodness! An 18 inch pack basket, nessmuk with sternum strap, SB lunch bag and trifold fly wallet. There's a Morris billhook and a fallow deer hide which are new too. Technically they're for Christmas but I get 'em now. The basket fits the isle royale well too for a combo if I ever want too. My Weirauch was supposedly for chrimbo but apparently I'm such a good and handy lad I was inline for a treat- fair to say I got one! Anyhow onto photos: (alongside my other frost river goodies for scale)

I just brought myself a ridge line pull over smock. A dd underquilt, fajllraven trousers and a swanndri ranger shirt. I am so bloody excited. I haven't won the lottery. I was given some cash for my birthday and wanted to spend it on quality gear that will last a life time.

Presents for my birthday, a fire piston from www.bushcrafttools.com . Its a well thought out and designed product. Had a quick go with it and managed to get ignition on the fourth strike.

And two bottles of mead, yay. But I am on antibiotics and can merely look at them wistfully, boo.
